Missing commando complied with SOP during dive training, says Adly


MELAKA: L/Kpl Edrin Daintin, the commando who is feared to have drowned after going missing during a dive training in the waters of Pulau Undan on Tuesday (Feb 7), was confirmed to have been following set standard operating procedures (SOP) and was unlikely to have been negligent.

Deputy Defence Minister Adly Zahari said the SOP for the training prioritised safety with complete equipment but further evaluation would continue due to various possible factors, including swift currents or choppy conditions that caused the incident.
